My mom didn’t believe us and made us drink all of it because it was $6 a glass.On the drive to Disneyland I started feeling really ill, but my parents thought I was just car sick and gave me a sick bag.I threw up (呕吐) everywhere. Then my brother did. We felt bad so we didn’t want to visit Disneyland at all. We only sat on the seat under the tree. I saw many children play happily but I felt sad.When we got back to our car in the evening, my brother slept on the back seat and my mother had to look after him all the time.

However, too many worries can make you unhealthy. So how do you get out of your worries? Sitting there worrying is meaningless and it can’t solve (解决) your problems, either.Grades at school are often a top worry for kids. If you worry most about grades, try to ask yourself these questions.●Why are grades important? What do grades mean (意味) to me?●How do I get ready for class? Do I go over (复习) my notes when there isn’t a text?●Do I have a good learning environment (环境)?●Do I try different ways of studying?If your worries are about a fight with your friend, you might write down what you could do. Write a letter to him or her, invite him or her to watch a basketball game, apologize to him or her and so on. Once you have a list of things to do, you could choose one of them and try to get your friends back.And when you are worried, don’t be afraid to speak it out. It is not a bad idea to ask someone else for help. You can find someone to talk to, such as your parents, friends, teachers and so on. They can give you some advice on how to solve the problems or cool you down. What’s more, try to learn the ways to relax. Going for a run, listening to some quiet music are also good ways to help you relax. When you are relaxed, you can think clearly about the ways to solve your problems.31．What may happen if we worry too much?A．We may be afraid of making friends.B．We may lose our friends.C．We may do badly in our schoolwork.D．We may have health problems.32．What does the underlined word “apologize” in the passage mean?A．Say hello.B．Say thanks.C．Say sorry.D．Say goodbye. 33．What CAN’T we learn from the passage?A．Having worries is common for people.B．Sitting there worrying can’t help solve problems.C．Sharing your problems with others can be helpful.D．The writer talks about three ways to help us get relaxed.34．Why should we learn to relax?A．Because it makes us study better.B．Because it helps us get a clear mind.C．Because being relaxed is necessary when we make friends.D．Because we should relax to enjoy our life.35．The passage mainly tells us ________.A．the reasons why we become worried B．the results of being worriedC．ways to solve the worries D．different worries between children andgrown-ups根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Additionally, exercise has a profound impact on mental health, reducing stress, anxiety, and depression.One study conducted by the University of California, Berkeley, showed that moderate exercise, such as a 30-minute walk or a 20-minute run, can significantly improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression. Another study from the University of Illinois found that exercise can help improve cognitive function, especially in older adults, by increasing brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels.The benefits of exercise are not limited to physical and mental health. It also has social benefits, as it encourages social interaction and can help build community. For instance, group sports or fitness classes can provide a sense of belonging and camaraderie.Despite these benefits, many people still struggle to incorporate regular exercise into their daily routines. Lack of time, motivation, and resources arecommon barriers. However, with a bit of planning and commitment, it is possible to find ways to integr ate exercise into one’s life, whether it’s joining a gym, participating in community sports, or simply taking a daily walk.Questions:1.What are some of the physical benefits of regular exercise mentioned in the passage?A) Maintaining a healthy weight, improving cardiovascular health, and strengthening muscles and bones.B) Reducing stress, anxiety, and depression.C) Enhancing overall well-being and improving cognitive function.D) Increasing brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels.2.According to the passage, how does exercise affect mental health?A) It improves cardiovascular health but has no effect on mental health.B) It can significantly improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression.C) It strengthens muscles and bones but does not enhance overall well-being.D) It increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels but does not have a direct impact on mental health.3.What are some of the social benefits of exercise mentioned in the passage?A) It provides a sense of belonging and camaraderie through group sports and fitness classes.B) It encourages social interaction and can help build community.C) It helps maintain a healthy weight and improves cognitive function.D) It reduces stress, anxiety, and depression but does not have any social benefits.Answers:1.A) Maintaining a healthy weight, improving cardiovascular health, and strengthening muscles and bones.2.B) It can significantly improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression.3.B) It encourages social interaction and can help build community.三、完型填空（15分）Passage for Cloze Test:In the small town of Greenfield, the local library was a beloved community hub.

Here are two of the cities listed as “the world’s best.”SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA The city has comfortable weather all year round (15℃ to 26℃). Housing is not very expensive in San Jose. Also, many of the city’s older neighborhoods are very beautiful and have small hotels and cafés. Beautiful mountains are around the city. You can visit them easily from San Jose. So Lots of people go sightseeing there every year. But air pollution is aproblem in the city center.HONG KONG, CHINA This lively city—once a small fishing village—is today an international business center. It is an interesting mix of East and West, old and new. Modern tall buildings are next to small temples (庙宇). Popular nightclubs are close to traditional teahouses. Busy people fill the streets at all hours of the day. But outside the city, there are parks for walking or relaxing. Hong Kong is famous for its wonderful native dishes. There’s also food from Europe, North America, and other parts of Asia. However, this small city has a large population(人口). nearly seven million people live in Hong Kong! That’s why housing is often very expensive. Traffic and air pollution are also a problem.1. Which of the following is NOT mentioned(提及) about San Jose?A. The weather.B. The mountains.C. The air.D. The traffic.2. What makes Hong Kong the world's best according to this passage?A. The lively city and the wonderful dishes.B. The beautiful mountains and the lively city.C.

San Jose has more natural sights than Hong Kong doesC. the weather in both cities is fineD. Hong Kong is the more popular city of the two.BAlmost all animals need to sleep to stay healthy. But sleeping can also be dangerous because other animals may hurt those who are sleeping. This leads to many different ways of sleeping that help them stay safe. Some of these ways may surprise you!Almost all bats sleep upside down. They hang from a branch of a tree or the ceiling of a cave. Up high, bats are safe from most other animals. If they are in danger, they just fly away.A dolphin sleeps with just half its brain at a time. It must stay awake to breathe and to watch for danger. Dolphin mothers and babies can go without sleep for as long as two months to stay safe. Some ducks sleep with just half their brains, too. These ducks often sleep in a line. The ducks at both ends help to keep the group safe. They keep one eye open to watch for danger. The ducks in the middle sleep deeply with both eyes closed.Seals breathe air, but that doesn’t stop some of them from sleeping underwater. They hold their breath and dive deep to sleep for up to twenty minutes at a time.
